I'm testing out something new: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/verified-apps-app-for-android-pre-release/38348

Last week Privacy Guides posted about building a database of signing certificates for Android apps, so that people can validate their APK files against an independent source.

Now, I've released an (alpha) version of a new app which:

  • Checks the apps on your phone against our database, and let's you know which apps match, and

  • Makes it super easy for you to submit any apps you have installed which aren't in our database yet!

    • If you want to help submit your apps to our crowdsourced dataset, please give it a try and let me know what you think!

    Rights exist so that you do not have to argue every time for the legitimacy of your everyday freedoms. Without an explicit right to your opacity, the rights you do already have can be called into question.
